IMPROVEMENT IN HOUSEHOLD UTENSILS.

Specifleation forming part of Letters Patent No. 118,125, dated August 15, 1871. v

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, HERRIOK It. HALsEY, of La Fayette, in the county of Stark and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improve ment in Household Utensils; and I-do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section ofthe same.

The object of my invention is to construct a graduated vessel adapted to household use and the holding of molasses, sirups, or other liquids, and constructed so that the inside graduations may be seen, and thus avoid the necessity of usin g an intermediate measuring-vessel.

That others may fully understand my improvement, I will particularly describe it.

A represents the vessel, which may be made of a variety of sizes to suit the requirements of dierent individuals. The mouth and throat a are made wide and open so as to admit a free view into the interior, and the interior surface is provided with projections or projecting' flanges b, accurately arranged to indicate definite capacities, so that when looking into the vessel the said projections or flanges may be observed and groove, e, in which is placed an elastic band, so

that an air-tight joint is formed. The vesselA may be made of earthenware or other suitable material.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new is- An opaque vessel, A, adapted to household use, provided with a mouth, a, Wide enough to permit a free view of the interior, and internal projections or flanges b to mark gradations of quantity, as set forth.
